If you are moving to a new country, you may be worried about adjusting to your new
community and losing your family traditions. However, it's crucial to understand that embracing
a new culture doesn't require abandoning one's traditions. Balancing both cultures will be essential
to maintaining your identity while embracing a new culture. Living in a new country can feel
strange and confusing, so what do you do to keep your roots and preserve your heritage?
Keep Constant Communication with Family & Friends
It is vital to keep in touch with friends and family members to stay connected to your old
home and heritage. Whether it’s to call your mom for your favourite family recipe or your friends
to recall memories, keeping in touch with your friends and family can help you preserve your
culture.
Join Local Clubs & Associations Tied to Your Culture
Another great way to preserve your heritage in a new country is by joining associations or
clubs that connect with your lifestyle and community. These gatherings provide a space to practice
and celebrate cultural customs while fostering connections with others who have experienced
similar transitions.
Maintain Cultural Tradition by Sharing It with Others
A perfect way to preserve your traditions is to continue practicing them in your new home,
whether they are daily habits, celebrations, or food. There is nothing better than sharing the
traditions you love with friends or colleagues in your new home. You can do this by bringing
homemade treats to your office or hosting traditional events with new friends.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Cyberbullying is a very serious issue affecting not just the young victims, but also the
victims' families, the bully, and those who witness instances of cyberbullying. It may be hard to
figure out how some words of text on a computer screen can lead to such trauma.
People might think that face-to-face bullying is much worse than cyberbullying since the
victims of real-world bullying have more difficulties escaping their tormentors, while a victim of
cyberbullying can simply turn off the computer or block a bully on a social media platform.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Face-to-face bullying can range from simple name-calling to
more significant acts of bullying, such as rumor-spreading, harassment, threats, and incidents of
physical harm between the victim and a bully (or group of bullies). While victims of real-world
bullying can be granted a reprieve when they go home, there’s simply no escape from
cyberbullying. It doesn’t end when the school bell rings. It can continue at any time, throughout
all hours of the night, and come in the form of text messages, social media posts, chatroom
messages, images and videos that have been altered, and many other digital forms.
Cyberbullying leaves little opportunity for victims to defend themselves. There are no
teachers or parents to see what is happening and intervene to put a stop to it. Cyberbullying can
also be anonymous, leaving the victim little recourse to even report the bully to an authority figure.
If the victim knows who the bully is and chooses to block them on social media, they can simply
create a new account, text, message, or use a friend's account. Kids today are extremely resourceful
and savvy with technology. If they are intent on cyberbullying, there's not much a victim can do
to stop them.
In essence, cyberbullying is more relentless, crueler, and more damaging than real-world
bullying. It is also one of the most significant stressors in a young individual’s life.
